Biblical Studies

“A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.” Theodore Roosevelt 

OVERVIEW

In Year 9 Biblical Studies, students are challenged to re-examine the life and claims of Jesus Christ as they study the Gospel of Mark, this historical proof of Christ’s life and the numerous Old Testament prophecies he fulfilled. Students are encouraged to prayerfully consider their response to Christ. In the second half of the year we examine Human Sexuality and Relationships in the light of Scripture’s teaching on these matters. Students are clearly challenged to live lives of purity and obedience and reminded of God’s incredible grace for us.
